Italian term

paventato

Italian to English Other Law (general)
Le condizioni e gli obblighi suddetti sono stati assunti da XXX e dagli altri conduttori a fronte del paventato sfruttamento dell’avviamento e dall’indotto commerciale derivanti dall’essere i singoli esercizi collocati all’interno di una struttura organizzata e articolata.

The usual translation for this is dreaded/feared but this obviously doesn't work here. This is from a short letter describing a shopping centres non-compliance with terms/conditions of leasing contracts.

Thanks

your interpretation now is correct. sometimes words are not used in their real - first sense, this is one of those.
Note from asker:
I think that this is close to what is required . I think it's meant as a positive not a negative in that the conditions of the leasing contract are accepted in view of the goodwill provided to the individual stores within a large structure ( a shopping centre). I've just realised that a bit before would have helped with the other answers. A negative meaning makes little sense to me and that's why I was confused in the first place.
